Cells: Structure and Function
| A | B |
|---|---|
| chlorophyll | green pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis |
| plastid | a plant cell structure that stores food of contains pigment |
| ribosome | the "construction site" for proteins |
| rough endoplasmic reticulum | ribosomes can be found in the surface of this organelle. |

Hereof, what stores food in a cell?
Vacuoles are fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane. They can store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products. Both cilia and flagella are hair-like organelles which extend from the surface of many animal cells.
Also, what converts food into energy it is found in both plant cells and animal cells? The Mitochondria converts food into energy. It is found in both plant cells and animal cells.
Also to know is, what cell stores food water and waste?
Cell Structure
| A | B |
|---|---|
| chloroplast | organelles that make sugar and sun to food |
| cell wall | a covering that protects plant cells and gives them shape |
| vacuole | stores water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials |
| Golgi bodies | membranes that sort protein |
What stores and releases chemicals?
cells
| A | B |
|---|---|
| chromosomes | rod-shaped bodies that release energy for cell use |
| cell membrane | controls movement of materials in and out of the cell |
| mitochondria | bodies that store and release chemicals for cell use |
| golgi bodies | holds the code that controls cell |
What breaks down food in a cell?
You will find organelles called lysosomes in nearly every animal-like eukaryotic cell. Lysosomes hold enzymes that were created by the cell. The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies.What part of the cell removes waste?
Cell Parts and Cell Organelles| A | B |
|---|---|
| Golgi Bodies | organelles that manufacture and move materials within a cell. |
| Lysosomes | organelles that break down food molecules, waste products, and old cells. |
| Vacuoles | organelles that store water, food, and wastes in a cell and help get rid of wastes. |
What is inside a cell?
Every cell in the body is enclosed by a cell (Plasma) membrane. The cell membrane separates the material outside the cell, extracellular, from the material inside the cell, intracellular. It maintains the integrity of a cell and controls passage of materials into and out of the cell.What part of the cell stores information?
The part of the plant cell which stores information is the nucleus. This is also the part of an animal cell which stores information. The DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) of a plant is found in the nucleus of each cell.Where is water found in cells?
Water is present both inside and outside cells. In the body of a mammal for example although it is about 70% water by weight, about 46% (approximately 2/3) is inside cells, and about 23% (approx. 1/3) is present outside cells in blood plasma and other body fluids.What is the cell wall made of?
Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth. Cellulose fibers are long, linear polymers of hundreds of glucose molecules. These fibers aggregate into bundles of about 40, which are called microfibrils.What contains DNA in a cell?
The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a cell and this DNA is called the chromosomal DNA. It is separated from the rest of the cell (cytoplasm) by a double layer of membrane. The mitochondria, which have a role in the oxidative degradation of nutrient molecules, also contain DNA, called the mitochondrial DNA.Why is the cell membrane important?
All living cells contain a cell membrane, the semipermeable structure that surrounds the cell. This flexible ability is important because it allows the cell to survive in differing environments, such as when immersed in water over long periods of time.Why do plant cells need a cell wall?
Plant cells are actively involved in water transportation, and thus plant cell wall ensures that the cell does not burst due to over expansion as water flows in (internal turgor pressure). Besides this cell walls also provides structural and mechanical support, protection against pathogens and dehydration.Why do plant cells have bigger vacuoles than animal cells?
Plant cell vacuoles serve the same vital storage functions for nutrients, water and wastes as those in animal cells but are much larger because they also provide structural stiffness in combination with the plant's cell walls. This is why water-starved plants droop; their cells have essentially deflated.What cleans up waste in a cell?
Proteins aren't the only type of cellular waste. Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out. For this task, they rely on an organelle called the lysosome, which works like a cellular stomach.What organelle gets rid of waste in a cell?
Cell Parts and Cell Organelles| A | B |
|---|---|
| Golgi Bodies | organelles that manufacture and move materials within a cell. |
| Lysosomes | organelles that break down food molecules, waste products, and old cells. |
| Vacuoles | organelles that store water, food, and wastes in a cell and help get rid of wastes. |
